Huaca made its debut on the restaurant scene of Athens about two years ago, in one of the most beautiful and artistic areas of the center, Mets, masterfully serving Nikkei delights. This combination of the Peruvian gastronomic tradition, with the strict Japanese techniques – which is one of the most popular gastronomic trends in the world – soon magnetized the interest of Athenian foodies.
Over time, Huaca has gained a special place in our hearts, as each visit to the site turns a simple dining out into a small ritual. The very delicate decoration with the ethnic elements that derive from both the mystical climate of Latin America and the zen philosophy of Japan, lead you in a wonderful way, to lower your tones and enjoy a different meal, which characterizes the harmony in the combinations of flavors, aromas and techniques, two very separate tasty traditions, which, although separated by an entire Pacific Ocean, are intertwined in the most imaginative and balanced way, in each dish you choose.
Starting from the traditional Peruvian dishes of the Andes, we move on to the big protagonist, the ceviche (small pieces of fish fillet, marinated in citrus juice), the most ideal version of sea bass (with cherry tomatoes, onion, lime, escarole, cucumber Amarillo pepper and avocado) or mayo (with cherry tomatoes, onion, jalapeno pepper, shiso, cilantro, scorched corn & tiger milk) that really fascinate you in every bite.
And then we come to the insurmountable sushi. Very different and special Nigiri, where the fresh fish spreads temptingly on the molded rice and combines wonderfully with special ingredients. The options in fish are four, sea bass, tuna, salmon and mayatiko, while new entry in the menu is the very interesting nigiri wagyu beef, with shiitake mushrooms, sansho, kabayaki and sesame.
Cocktails in Huaca have been given special attention, with a card with signature cocktails and includes reinvented Old Fashioned and Margaritas, but also other innovative options are harmoniously combined with your food, giving their own note to the delicious palette created by your choices.
Apart from the amazing multi-culti menu and the delicious cocktails, what draws you to Huaca, is everything that constantly creates the restless spirit of the owners, Irini Beka and Panagiotis Logothetis. They always find the most imaginative ways to keep your interest undiminished and win you over sweetly. In addition to the updated wine list, our favorite cocktails, Negroni and Old Fashioned, as well as new, refreshingly imaginative combinations, will now be bottled, so you can enjoy them everywhere and always, while on the existing site, the most will soon be added. cool e-shop, with cocktail kits and other wonderful things with Huaca’s signature.
